**Air Peace Debunks Stranded Passenger Claims, NCAA Summon** In a recent turn of events, Nigeria's largest carrier, Air Peace, has responded to a summon by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) over alleged disruptions on one of its flights. According to reports, the regulatory body had summoned the airline following complaints from passengers who claimed they were stranded after a flight diversion from Abuja to London on March 13, 2026. However, Air Peace has come out to clarify that no passenger was left stranded during the incident. In a statement issued by the airline's management, they explained that the aircraft made an emergency return to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja after the crew detected a crack on the aircraft's windshield, suspected to have been caused by a bird strike. Air Peace emphasized that the decision to abort the flight and return to Abuja was strictly in line with global aviation safety standards. The airline added that the pilot followed established safety protocols by returning the aircraft to Abuja to allow engineers conduct technical checks. It's worth noting that bird strikes are not uncommon occurrences in Nigeria, especially in the Abuja area where birds are known to be abundant. While it's unfortunate that the incident occurred, it's reassuring to know that Air Peace prioritized the safety of its passengers and crew. To mitigate the disruption, Air Peace activated its passenger care procedures, offering alternative travel arrangements to ensure that passengers could continue their journey to the United Kingdom. The airline's response is a testament to its commitment to providing quality service to its customers. As the regulatory body continues to investigate the matter, Air Peace remains committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and customer care in the aviation industry.
